When using Leopard this is easy: you can store any data type in core
data using the 'Transformable' type. Use this to store instances of
NSURL that point to your files see

for more information.
I'd recommend going for an Alias Record instead. URLs are just as
fragile as file paths. NDAlias or BDAlias can be serialized to NSData.
Keep the path as a backup, but really, recovering files across
restarts and tracking them even if the user moves them or the drive
gets mounted under a different mount point is a job for Aliases.
